VA6x User's Reference

Sherlock

• Image processing library and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with a Graphical

User Interface (GUI) used to design, test, debug, and deploy machine vision applications.

• Sherlock uses the Sapera LT library and Genie Framework drivers for image acquisition. The

"Sapera LT" driver must be enabled in the Acquisition Options. You may point to a Sapera

CamExpert camera configuration file.

• Sherlock uses the VA-Genie Setup drivers for the Industrial I/O and Camera I/O. The "IFC"

driver must be enabled in the Acquisition Options. You may point to a VA-Genie Configura-

tion file if you have made changes to the default I/O configuration; for example, enabling

strobe outputs or changing to a single trigger input for both cameras.

• This Sherlock utility detects all available hardware or cameras supported under Sapera LT, and

creates a file "SaperaLTDrv.ini" that identifies the cameras by their Camera Name. You can

enable or disable camera ports, and select camera configuration files in this utility. NOTE: If

this configuration file does not match the number of cameras (if two cameras are enabled, but

one camera is later disconnected) the Sapera LT and Genie drivers will not load, and Sherlock

will not run saved programs. Sherlock will open a new "investigation" file.

• Inspection application with Graphic User Interface (GUI) for easy setup of product inspection.

• iNspect/iLabel uses the VA-Genie Setup drivers for camera acquisition. iNspect/iLabel main-

tains its own settings and control over the camera and I/O.

Acronis® True Image

• VA61 systems in the blue cabinet (starting in June 2009) contain a factory restore image on the

hard drive. During system boot, press the F9 key to start the Acronis software, and restore the

factory settings. Any configuration changes made after receiving your VA61 are lost.

• The Acronis software also allows you to create new system backup images.
